Hello , Everyone welcome to my blog!!
• " Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead" written by. TOM STOPPARD
• This blog is a part of my academic work. Here I like write about one Absurd play named " Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead " written by Tom Stoppard.I like this play most because of many reasons. First it is absurd play. If we heard the title then itself shows that there are nothing in it. But it is an interesting play to study. We can came to know about the unique character study of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.Both have their own dynamic perceptions according to their role in play. We seems as they have no sense and only entertaining us.
• Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966) imagines Shakespeare's Hamlet from the perspective of two minor courtiers. In Stoppard's revision, the characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who are not fully developed in the original play, fumble around bewildered about their mission and the reason for their existence.The central issue that Stoppard focuses on is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's state of existential crisis. The two characters engage in repetitive, often nonsensical dialogue as they fumble through a plot that is incomprehensible to them. Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is often cited as a source from which Stoppard draws much philosophical influence. Both plays focus on the absurdity of the human condition as two protagonists find themselves passing time, talking, or playing games until the "action" resumes. However, Stoppard invokes fast-paced comedy and theatricality that cut through Beckett's grave atmosphere. If we want to know or study the "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead" then first we must know the " Hamlet" written by Shakespeare.So,in Hamlet Shakespeare more focus on Hamlet the protagonist character, he don't give more importance to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
•While if we see them these two characters had their important significant place in play. If these two characters are not there then maybe Hamlet don't come from England where he send for his death. In journey if they are not dead then what about Hamlet's revenge,ha can't come back to take his father's revenge. Without this character the main ending of the novel maybe will not happen.In Tom Stoppard's play we find that this both characters are on way and path, the thing which shows absurdity that Where ,why and How they are going? What is the aim of their journey? To whom they are going. They even don't remember their names. They replace their name with eachother. They are playing with their toes and nonsense things. The play divided into 3 acts. The play opens as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are spinning coins in an indistinct landscape. As the coin is called "heads" or "tails," the winner places the coin in his sack. The coin has landed on heads over seventy-six times in a row, and Rosencrantz has won every time. Guildenstern, the more philosophical and probing of the two, is not angry at his loss, but is rather trying to hide his discomfort at the improbability of the situation. They forgot that they were called by King Claudius as they are the childhood friends of Hamlet. After the death of King Hamlet, young Hamlet seems to different,behave as he was mad. King Claudius through Rosencrantz and Guildenstern he want to clarify that what exactly happened with Hamlet.Here they both supposed to act on Murder of Gonzalo kind of act. At end when they are on boat,they forgot that why they are in boat and come to know to know they have to deliver Hamlet to England. Here they read a letter about Hamlet's death. In real they both are killed. So, here Tom Stoppard gives more significant and importance,place to these both characters. In Hamlet they are like Marginalized character. Here the writer raises their voice and give sympathy kind of thing. So, here we can see significance of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. There are many interesting sequence in play which played by both are worth to read and understand.
Thank you....
